MasterChugs Theater: ‘The Mighty Peking Man’

While Dino de Laurentiis was spending millions of Hollywood dollars on his lavish creation of King Kong, the Shaw Brothers of Hong Kong used spit, grit, baling wire and lots of stock film of terrified city dwellers pointing at the sky to bring you (cue major echo effect) The Mighty Peking Man!

Much ado about nuttin’

Parents at Edgewater Elementary School, Florida, are mad as hell and they are not going to take it from a six-year-old first grader anymore!

The parents of other students want her gone because their children are now expected to:

  • Wash their hands before school and after lunch.
  • Rinse their mouths after eating.

It’s a sad story, one with which The Guys are all too familiar: Newspapers are dying, and those who don’t lose their jobs can end up with pay cuts.

Kevin Provencher, now a former sports writer at the New Hampshire Union Leader, had a plan to deal with his slashed pay. In what is surely going to end up as new series on HBO, Provencher began moonlighting as a pimp. His plan went well until the police caught up with him.

He was sentenced to two and a half years on the cops and courts beat.
